Safety

Standard safety features include all-disc antilock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution, side-impact airbags for the front seats, side curtain airbags for all three rows of seats and an electronic stability system with Roll Stability Control. If RSC senses that the CX-9 is leaning excessively, it can reduce engine power and apply the brakes to bring the SUV under control.
